Gargoyle affected by Bash/Shellshock?

Post by NL2009 »

Are Garoyle installations likely to be affected by the so-called "Shellshock" bug that has been discovered in Bash?

If so, what precautions or changes are needed?
Regards, Nigel

No, as gargoyle doesn't use bash, it's unaffected. It actually uses ash, a shell built-in to busybox. But i did run the test to find out on gargoyle 1.6.1, it's unaffected (test fails to run as variables can't run commands). :)
